At night, Chu Yunsheng, Zhou Daqian, and others set up camp on an oasis island in the desert.
The so-called camp was actually finding a place to spend the night. The desert ground was hot at night. If they did not hide in the oasis island, they would not be able to sleep at night. If there was another dark sand flow, they might even lose their lives.
After the torment in the extreme cold snow, and the killing at night, all the tents and supplies were lost except for the backpacks behind Zhou Daqian, Chen Maocai, and others.
So now, the first problem to solve was the problem of food.
Zhou Daqian and others were better off. There was still some food in their backpacks that they picked up from the snow. Although the amount was not much and limited, they could still survive for a while.
The other group of people who were rescued were not so lucky. Their food had already been consumed. Even if they were not killed by the pig-headed people, they might not be able to last for a few days. Especially in the extremely hot desert, they could die of thirst or starvation at any time.
Chu Yunsheng and the shadowman were also two "poor people". In addition to their extraordinary abilities that made them invincible below cardinal level, they had to rely on Zhou Daqian and others to feed them. Originally, there were the underground dwarfs who could help them, but now even Haomo could not protect herself, so the situation was even worse.
Zhou Daqian and others were actually not bad people. Chu Yunsheng had his own ideas. Although they always defended the shadowman and scolded him, their starting point was very normal. If he was in Zhou Daqian's position, he would also have the same thought when he saw an adult bullying a defenseless child in that extreme environment. Moreover, when he and the shadowman caught up with Zhou Daqian and others, they were already extremely tired and hungry. They were almost two unrelated half-dead people, so they could completely ignore them. But in the end, they still fed him and the shadowman a lot of hot soup. At that time, they did not know how powerful he and the shadowman were, so naturally, they did not have any thoughts of repaying them. They just simply wanted to save people.
It was precisely because of this reason that even if Chu Yunsheng "betrayed" and joined the underground dwarfs' camp, he still took care of their needs and safety. For example, he asked for tents for them and stood on their side at the critical moment.
But no matter how good it was, there was still a bottom line. There was not much food in the first place. Zhou Daqian, Chu Yunsheng, and the shadow man, there were about twenty people. If this little bit of food was distributed to more than a hundred people, no matter how they tried to save it, it would be gone in less than two days.
It was not Chu Yunsheng's business whether he would help those people or not. The food belonged to Zhou Daqian and the others, not him. Moreover, he was not obliged to care about the food problem of these people. After experiencing the dark times, he had become quite hard-hearted.
Zhou Daqian and the others did not help He Xiaoning and the others with food, so these people did not dare to do anything. The deterrence of the shadow man was not a joke. The two groups of people rested separately. In order to prevent them from stealing, Chen Maocai also deliberately took on the responsibility of guarding again, but this time, it was against their own people who were also human beings.
But in the end, Zhou Daqian and Chen Maocai still seemed to take some things. Chu Yunsheng did not know how much, and he did not care. He was now annoyed by another thing.
He did not know whether it was the problem of the underground people's food or the problem of his body. In the past few days, he had been suffering from constipation, and he often squatted for half a day.
He didn't eat anything that night. With the help of the three moons in the sky, he had some self-awareness. He didn't do it on the oasis island. Instead, he went out of the forest and found a place where no one was around. He dug a hole and squatted for a while. When he finally felt something, he heard the childish voice of Zhou Daqian's daughter.
"Uncle Chu Chu is grunting again!"
Then, there was a series of sounds of people moving in the forest. Chu Yunsheng almost died of anger. What did she mean by grunting again? Indeed, he had been suffering from severe constipation in the past few days, and it was indeed very smelly. When he was in the snowy polar region, it had forced Zhou Daqian and the underground dwarf to discuss moving the camp nearly one kilometer away. But he had to solve the problem, and he already knew his own limits, so he went to the downwind to dig a hole …
Chu Yunsheng felt that he was quite thick-skinned, so he ignored them and continued to solve the problem as if he did not hear it. After about half a day, he was also dizzy from the smell, so he had to raise his head to take a breath of fresh air. But then he saw a long shadow rushing towards him under the moonlight.
The one running at the front was the shadow man. Chu Yunsheng suspected that this guy was addicted to establishing his prestige in front of He Xiaoning and the other hundreds of people. He spent the whole night trying to win over his compatriots, trying his best to isolate himself. Even the feathered winged man was on his side. If it were not for the underground dwarf who firmly stood on his side, he would be a "loner".
Because of the lack of food, at night, the shadow man surprised Chu Yunsheng. It actually "volunteered" to look for food. Chu Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, but then he didn't bother to pay attention to it. Who would have thought that it would provoke such a large number of strange things with extremely strong Yuan Qi energy fluctuations!
The desert at night was full of danger, especially in the strange desert of the new world, so people did not dare to take it lightly.
Chu Yunsheng cursed in his mind, hurriedly tore off a corner of his trousers, wiped it clean, put on his tattered trousers, and jumped to the top of the sand dune to take a closer look.
The shadow man obviously could not deal with it. Needless to say, it needed Chu Yunsheng and it to work together to repel that group of dark things.
Originally, he could just sit back and watch the shadow man get into trouble. When it was almost injured, he would kill it. But the shadow man's speed was too fast. With Chu Yunsheng's current stage, he really could not outrun it. As long as it insisted on chasing him, it could always attract those dark things to burn his body.
"Quick, use your sword Qi to trap it!"
The shadow man ran all the way. Although it could not stand the stench of Chu Yunsheng's stench more than Zhou Daqian and the others, it didn't seem to care so much at this time. Seeing Chu Yunsheng standing up from a distance, it pointed behind it and said loudly.
Although the shadow man was being chased, he was not in a sorry state. Occasionally, he would turn around and kill one or two ancient dinosaur bird-like dark creatures. His every move was still swift and fierce.
The shape of that thing was like a combination of more than a dozen arm-thick firewood sticks. It was about half the height of a person, about the same height as the shadow man's little boy. It was dark, and there were jagged wings on its back. Although it could not fly high or far, it was enough for it to suddenly accelerate when it was hunting.
Chu Yunsheng ignored it and quickly moved aside. Before he figured out the situation, he could not rush to attack. The shadow man was very cunning. If he fell into its trap, it would be too late to regret it.
The shadow man probably knew what Chu Yunsheng was thinking, so it no longer urged Chu Yunsheng, but it also did not plan to let Chu Yunsheng go. It immediately led the dragon-like dark creatures to run around Chu Yunsheng. In just a moment, those strange creatures split up one after another and began to surround Chu Yunsheng.
He threw out a Li Huo talisman, and a raindrop-like fiery line vertically covered his surroundings, washing away all the strange dark creatures that surrounded him. Although not many of them died directly, a large number of them were seriously injured and fell to the ground.
These monsters were indeed very strong. Chu Yunsheng roughly estimated that they were at least above Yuan Tian stage two, and many of them had even reached Yuan Tian stage three.
Chu Yunsheng did not know where the shadow man found such a group of strange creatures!
But Chu Yunsheng was secretly puzzled. Even if they were all Yuan Tian stage three monsters, with the shadow man's ability, it shouldn't be able to run away, right? Was it really plotting something against him?
Chu Yunsheng was fighting while retreating, and the shadow man was also following him. The two of them gradually moved away from the oasis island consciously. Otherwise, if those monsters were to sweep over Zhou Daqian's group, they would not be able to survive.
While fighting, Chu Yunsheng found that something was wrong. He had attacked a lot of the talismans and the shadow man, but why didn't the number of strange creatures decrease sharply? They were obviously seriously injured, but why did they come back after a short time? Moreover, they were full of energy, and there was no sign of injury at all.
"You saw it?"
The shadow man spoke for the second time. It usually did not talk much. Only when it was with Chu Yunsheng would it talk a little more. Even if it was to win over its companions, its way of doing things was also very unique. It was basically arrogant, cold, mysterious, and altruistic. It made people worship it, which was completely in line with its self-respect.
"There is one more thing!" Chu Yunsheng gasped. There were a large number of strange creatures that looked like black firewood, and the moonlight was not particularly bright at this time. If he didn't look carefully and carefully feel the chaotic Yuan Qi fluctuations in the group of creatures, he would basically not be able to find that there was a lightning-like twisting thing hidden among them.
This thing was very cunning. It would never appear in sight and would always entangle the black monster's firewood body. Every time a heavily injured black monster fell to the ground, it would miraculously recover after being entangled by it and continue to participate in the attack.
"Yes, that thing. It is not a eukaryotic life form. Its energy is very unique. With my current strength, I can't catch it. Moreover, it is already very close to the cardinal. As long as it is not dead, these monsters are unkillable zombies." The shadow man grabbed a monster with both hands and tore it apart forcefully. The twisting thing immediately slipped out from under its nose.
"How did you provoke such a thing?" Chu Yunsheng felt that it was troublesome. If he continued to fight like this, he would eventually consume all the offensive talismans and Ben Ti Yuan Qi, which was not cost-effective. Of course, the shadow man was also the same, so he was not afraid of its counterattack.
The shadow man did not answer directly and said, "if you and I work together, we can deal with it."
Chu Yunsheng no longer used the talismans to attack. He began to use the physical combat skills of the seal to fight in close combat to save resources. He said, "you are the one who caused this trouble, what good will it do to me?"
The shadow man was silent for a moment, and while fighting, it approached Chu Yunsheng and said, "I will teach you how to absorb Life Force. This thing contains extremely rich Life Force. If you and I want to restore the cardinal as soon as possible, we need a lot of Life Force."
Chu Yunsheng sneered, "those who are below cardinal level will definitely die if they cultivate Life Force. Do you think I don't know that?"
At this time, the shadow man was dazed for a moment, and said with a strange tone, "after so many years, you still haven't broken through the cardinal level? Impossible, if you don't control the cardinal, if you don't break through the gate, how can you have such rich Life Force!? Your zero-dimensional space can't hold it at all. "
Chu Yunsheng did not continue. The reason why he could still talk to the shadow man was not because this thing was not dangerous, but because the danger of this thing was equivalent to chronic poisoning. The time could be prolonged, so there was not too much danger in a short period of time. Therefore, he also had time to think carefully. The shadow man should not have provoked this thing for no reason. There must be something wrong.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng realized that the reason why the shadow man told him to volunteer to find food was probably an excuse, and its purpose might be to find this thing.
To be honest, he absolutely did not believe that the shadow man would care about the life and death of human beings. The reason why he had been standing on the side of human beings was also to fight against him.
Looking at this lightning-like thing again, Chu Yunsheng knew that the shadow man could not hide, as soon as they fought, Chu Yunsheng would be able to see through it. Chu Yunsheng had his own screening method. What was the shadow man trying to do?
He could not figure it out, but he could think of another way. Chu Yunsheng thought that since the shadow man knew that he could subdue this thing with him, it meant that the shadow man had already arranged everything, waiting for him to take the thing and force him to take action.
Chu Yunsheng asked tentatively, "how should we cooperate? Do you want to kill it? "
The shadow man immediately said, "use your sword Qi to chase it, and then control the sword Qi to lock it from all directions. Leave the rest to me."
It did not say whether it could kill it or not. Chu Yunsheng's heart moved slightly, and he subconsciously guessed a possibility, so he said calmly, "okay, but all the life force belongs to me."
The shadow man glanced at Chu Yunsheng, then nodded and said, "first release the sword Qi to lock it, and then use your zero-dimensional weapon to invade its main body. I will tell you how to absorb the life force."
Chu Yunsheng's brows twitched, and he quickly said, "I don't have a sword."
The shadow man reached out his hand and grabbed something from the ground. A long sword that was made of sand suddenly appeared in the air. He then threw it to Chu Yunsheng and said, "be fast."
Chu Yunsheng didn't say anything. There was no problem with the long sword, and he didn't tamper with it. He stabbed it three times in a row, and a total of eighteen sword Qi flew out and chased after the lightning-fast twisting thing.
The thing's speed was fast, but it was not the reason why it could escape from the shadow man. It did not have a physical body, it was shaped like a twisting lightning wave, and the nature of its energy was extremely special. According to Chu Yunsheng's understanding, Yuan Qi was extremely stable.
If his sword Qi was not created by the senior practitioner, coupled with the recent changes in his cultivation, he might not be able to surpass its energy level, and even now, he could only be at the same level as it. After all, it relied on this kind of energy to survive, so it naturally had its own unique skills. The real essence of Chu Yunsheng's sword Qi was the qualitative change after it turned into sword Qi.
The shadow man may have understood the energy level of his sword Qi in the battle in the snowfield, so it had a plan tonight, but he didn't know when it discovered this thing. Could it be that when it killed Feng Zhiyin, it used its spiritual sound to find it?
This was possible. The shadow man was once a master in the spiritual world. It was normal for it to have a strong memory for the location of special things.
The sword Qi quickly locked on that thing, but it was also consuming energy very quickly. Chu Yunsheng must constantly replenish it to prevent it from breaking out.
The shadow man suddenly unleashed its powerful strength, turned around, and massacred a large number of black creatures along the way. It quickly arrived in front of the twisting thing, and a beam of light shot out from its eyes, piercing into the twisting energy body. That thing instantly twisted crazily, as if it was suffering great pain.
"You can release your zero-dimensional weapon now, absorb its life force."
Chu Yunsheng didn't move. He didn't know whether the method of absorbing life force that the shadow man said was true or not, and he didn't want the shadow man to know about his zero-dimensional weapon. Especially when he felt that the shadow man was actually secretly absorbing that thing's life force. If he rashly joined in, he might be sucked clean by the shadow man.
The reason why Chu Yunsheng asked it for all its life force was that he wanted to trick it back, no matter if it was right or wrong.
The shadow man's eyes flickered. Obviously, it knew what Chu Yunsheng was thinking, so it no longer hid and began to absorb that thing's life force.
From the overall arrangement, so far, the shadow man still had the upper hand, and Chu Yunsheng was very passive. It dominated the whole process, so Chu Yunsheng must be forced to make a move. Otherwise, the result would be worse.
If it just wanted to use Chu Yunsheng to get that thing's life force, then it had achieved its goal, and it was very successful. The only thing Chu Yunsheng got was the method of absorbing life force using the shadow man's weapon.
But Chu Yunsheng felt that it should not be that simple. Just when that thing's life force was about to be cleansed, he prepared to make a move according to the original plan. He used a monster seal talisman to seal it before the shadow man.
This thing was something that was about to control the cardinal!
Although Chu Yunsheng couldn't give it a "contract", the shadow man could.
Wait, Chu Yunsheng suddenly realized something, the shadow man could … So, the shadow man's ultimate goal was to recover this thing?
No, the speed at which it broke through to the next stage was extremely fast, and it had absorbed so many life force, it didn't need to subdue something that might not be able to remember it in the future.
Chu Yunsheng suddenly understood what the shadow man was trying to do. The shadow man was trying to lure him to seal this thing. It would suck his life force dry, and then create the best opportunity for him to seal it. Wasn't it clearly trying to lure him to use the monster seal talisman? It must be hiding something from him. Once it was sealed, something bad would definitely happen!
But if he did not snatch it, it might really subdue this thing. Then, with the addition of itself, the two cardinals would be stronger than him in an instant, and killing him would be a piece of cake.
Therefore, even if he guessed all the possible consequences, he still had to make a move to seal it!
Chu Yunsheng's heart sank. The shadow man was really vicious. No matter what he chose, it would get the life force first, and then the result would be the same.
At this time, it was too late for Chu Yunsheng to attack the shadow man. That thing's life force was about to be sucked dry by the shadow man, and the outcome would be decided in the next few seconds.
Chu Yunsheng took a deep breath and used his few Life Force to mix it with the purest black gas to make a monster seal talisman. He still had one last trick, which was to destroy that thing, no one would be able to get it.
Time passed quickly …
The talisman was activated. According to the monster seal talisman that Chu Yunsheng used to make before, it should have been destroyed. But at this time, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared.
The shadow man's eyes widened in disbelief, as if it had seen the most unreasonable phenomenon.
Far away in the Sky Kingdom, in a floating city that looked like a paradise, an extremely beautiful woman spread her wings in an instant. A maid who had just walked in lowered her head in fear, not daring to make a sound.
The woman's eyes instantly seemed to be able to see through thousands of miles, looking at the southern desert.
"Someone is trying to break through the cardinal!"

Chu Yunsheng corrected himself.
